The linker cannot pad segments but it can pad memory areas. So just make each
bank a separate memory area (this is also necessary because the banks share
the same run address), then use the fill attribute for the memory area and the
same output file name for all the banks. in addition to that, you may want to
use the fillval attribute to set the value used to fill these areas to $FF if
you're using an EPROM (the default for the fill value is zero).
